THE NETWORK FORTY 3


RADIO INFORADIO

In what could be a horrifying nec trend in radio marketing, ambient AC

KTWV "The Wave" L.A. saturated local TV airwaves last weekend by

running 30 minutes of a station -spon-

sored concert on seven different sta-

tions. In between musical segments.

actor Michael Nonni asked primarily

30 -something women concertgoers when and how often they listen to

The Wave. Listeners were suggested in

an. appropriately mellow style to call a

toll -free number to get more artist in-

formation and register for prizes. It

just might work, although one won-

ders how many target demo listeners

would be interested in getting a Flow -

bee cheap.

COMING & GOING

Jolin Trapane was named PD at

KTUX Shreveport, which will allow

Ken Shepard to concentrate on his

duties as OM... Pete Manriquez was

promoted to MD at KHQT "Hot 97.7" San Jose... In a recent reshuf-

fling of duties, Jay Quesenberry re-

turns as GM and Bob Spencer will

handle programming as OM of WCIR. This lets Joe Hovanski focus

on the morning show, promotions and co -MD with Cat Sumner... Paul Anthony is now doing afternoons at

KQCR Cedar Rapids... Lynn Bruder

was named Station Manager at WPLY

Philadelphia.

FLIPPING THE BIRD

KWTX Waco OM/PD Dave Christo-

pher accepted the PD gig at KSLY

San Luis Obispo. Plans are for Christopher to take KSLY off the bird -fed Hot AC format and return to

"live" Top 40 after the owners of crosstown AC KSTT completes its

duop buy-out of KSLY.

HAVE SHOW,

WILL SYNDICATE

Infinity's success of Howard Stern has

not been lost on other radio groups.

Expect to see a slew of new wake -up-

pers available for syndication this Fall.

Unistar will be hawking WPGC Washington D.C. superstar Donnie Simpson and ABC is lining up suitors

for the "Moby In The Morning show. Other syndie talents include In-

finity's Greaseman and Cap Cities' Mark & Brian.

NEWS By The Time He Gets To Phoenix...

Rick Stacy New PD AT KIRR Soon after Steve Smith left for the

PD post at WQHT "Hot 97" New York, KKFR "Power 92" Phoenix named Rick Stacy its new PD. Stacy

previously was PD/morning person-

ality at WAPW "Power 99," Atlanta,

which is now WNNX "99X."

While Stacy was pulling into town, KKFR GM Fred Weber told The Network Forty that Stacy was

the ideal choice for the opening. "He's got the depth of experience, leadership qualities and talent neces-

sary to take us to the next level," he

explains. "He's the preeminent pro-

grammer in this country to do it."

While it took Hot 97 weeks to

settle on Steve Smith, Weber admits

that "Rick was my first choice all the way. I did go through a lot of candi-

dates, but Rick stood out. Hot 97 New York was also interested in him

as well."

Stacy will be taking over KKFR at a

time when the stations would seem to

have an open field with its target audience. "We'd like to

go number one in the market since we

now have no direct competition," We- ber notes, citing KOY-FM's flip to Rhythm/Rock hy-

RICK STACY

brid KYOT "The Coyote." "The Fall book will be the first quarterly where KKFR is the only Top 40 in

the market. For us, the magic will be in taking it to the next level, which I feel Rick is very well -suited to do."

Stacy, who ar- rived in Phoenix 10

minutes before talk-

ing to The Network

Forty, notes that he

will take a good 30 days to study the situation. "I'm not in a rush to change anything," he says.

"The station sounds real good and we're doing well. All I can say is

that I'll bring my stylings to Power 92, possibly in the

form of different -sounding production and injecting some humor into the presentation. Again, I have to absorb just how the station fits in

this market before I make any con-

crete adjustments."

Mariah Spins Higher And Higher Blind Melon Top Request; Meat Loaf Ace Of Base Hot

Apparently, the opposite of burn is

Mariah Carey's smash, "Dreamlover."

not only did she continue to domi- nate The Network Forty's regional Plays -Per -Week breakouts, she strengthened her grip on the top spot.

On the Most Requested Top 10,

however, she was overtaken by Blind

Melon's "No Rain."

For the third week in a row, Carey topped all six regional break-

outs. Furthermore, she increased the

number of spins in all but the West

region. Billy Joel's "River Of Dreams" finished second in four of the regions, while SWV's "Right Here/Human Nature" and Janet Jackson's "If" were runners-up in

the Northwest and West regions, re-

spectively. More detailed information on all six regions begin on page

49.

There were plenty of changes in

the Mainstream Most Requested

Top 10, beginning at the top, where

Blind Melon's "No Rain" replaced "Dreamlover," which fell to #2. Other hot movers were Meat Loafs "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I

Won't Do That)" (up from #9-#4), Ace Of Base's "All That She Wants" (a smashing debut at #5) and Jazzy

Jeff & The Fresh Prince's "Boom! Shake The Room" (#10-#8). Com- prehensive Most Requested information begins on page 24.

News Briefs BMG GOES CABLE TV

The Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG) and Tele -Communications Industries (TCI) have formed a joint venture to start a cable channel that will enable viewers to choose their favorite music videos while having the ability to purchase a diverse ar-

ray of music -related products and services.

The home shopping/MTV hybrid

is set to roll out within 12 months; a

likely start-up is mid -1994. The net-

work will provide other methods for

promotion of artists via unique programming and innovative marketing

and merchandising opportunities. The advertising -supported service

will feature cutting edge music and be a showcase for breaking musical

acts. What's more, viewers will able

to purchase concert tickets, T-shirts and new interactive products and services.

DATELINE

Singer lames Ingram and his

wife, Debbie, are the proud parents of a baby girl, Jiaya E. Ingram, who was born in Hollywood on Septem-

ber 12. She is the couple's sixth child.

The Network Forty regrets to an-

nounce the passing of Peter Wood, a songwriter/musician/arranger who died at 42. Wood wrote the hit, "Year Of The Cat," for Al

Stewart, recorded with Cyndi Lau -

per and Tommy Shaw and performed with Pink Floyd on their The Wall tour.

Sony Entertainment Names Mottola President/C00 American Success Leads To International Duties

On the heels of the success of Sony Music in America, Thomas D.

Mottola was named President/Chief Operating Officer of Sony Music Entertainment.

Mottola had managed Sony Mu- sic's American operations since 1988, when the Japanese conglom- erate purchased the label group from

CBS. Since then, he was instrumen- tal in doubling the U.S. division's profits and increasing revenue by 50

percent, expanding its market share

to its highest level in a decade and assembling an experienced and suc-

cessful management team. Among

the Sony artists who have enjoyed multi - Platinum success in

that time are Michael

Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Spin Doc- tors, Pearl Jam, Billy

Joel and Bruce Springsteen.

"I am gratified by

the results the Sony Music team has achieved and look forward to further enhancing the global presence of Sony Music Entertainment," Motto -

THOMAS D. MOTTOLA

la states.

"Sony Music En-

tertainment will benefit from Mr. Mottola's vision and insight," states SME Chairman/ CEO Michael P.

Schulhof. "His track record over the past five years has been remark- able and we look forward to the con-

tributions he will make on a world-

wide basis."

Reprise Elevates Promotion Staff Nancy Levin, Gary Briggs Upped to National Directors.

Reprise Records announced that Nan- cy Levin and Gary Briggs will be handing out new business cards in the very near future, as Levin was named National Di- rector of Pop and Crossover Promo- tion, while Briggs was

upped to National AOR Promotion Di -

NANCY LEVIN

rector.

Previously, Levin was National Singles Manager for two years at Reprise. Prior to that, she was Denver Promotion Manager for four years. She began her industry career as MD/air personality at KKBR Al-

buquerque, then as

PD for KFMU Steamboat Springs. Briggs had been Na- tional AOR Promo- tion Manager for three years, coming to Burbank after a

stint as Promotion Manager -in San -Fran- cisco for both Reprise GARY BRIGGS

and Warner Bros.

"Nancy and Gary both epitomize the unique approach tak-

en to promotion here

at Reprise," states Rich Fitzgerald, Sr. VP Promotion. "Their experience, enthusiasm and creativity have all contributed enormously to our success."

In an unprepared and obviously underwhelming statement, Levin declares, "This is the second step in

my lifelong goal of having a title as

long as Benny Medina's. He is, in

fact, the Mayor of Burbank." World produce

markets were instantly reassured when Levin noted that the new hoity- toity uppage would not affect her fashion style. In fact, she will

continue in her quest

to be officially adopted as the daughter of Betsey Johnson.

THE NETWORK FORTY 5


Scene in New York It was a MAJOR happening in

NYC over the weekend, as

MCA invited much of the free

world (as well as The Network

Forty's Pat Gillen) to the "Meat

Loaf On Broadway" extravagan-

za at the Hudson Theatre on

the Great White Way. Meat Loaf was in fine form, as were

all the partygoers at the after -

midnight party at Le Bar Bat on

West 57th. By the way, the con-

cert was recorded for future air-

ing on stations across the coun-

try, so if you couldn't make it,

you've got another shot.

oise-

Congratulations to M Teller, Richard Palmese, Bruce Tenenbaum, Mark Gorlick and the gang at MCA. They've

worked long and hard on this

project and were rewarded this

week with #3 sales debut on

the album. The single is Top 20 and the video is Top 5

most -requested on The Box.

Off The Beach? Is former Elektra VP Pro- motions Bob Catania headed for A&M? Stay tuned.

Turn It Up The Network Forty's next CD sampler (on your desk next week) contains airchecks and promos of KCBQ's famous "The Last Contest." Listen to

what many consider the ulti- mate radio contest as well as

the best of the future hits when

it arrives.

Line Up WWKX PD Geronimo is

heading home to New York.

He'll be joining WBLS as MD and night jock. Earliest names

in the WWKX hunt are MD Jammer, KKFR Programming

Assistant Mike Abrams, former

WFHN PD Wes McShay, KKSS Alburquerque's J.J. Morgan and former WPRO APD/MD Tony Bristol. And

speaking of the popular Mr. Bristol, is Don London look-

ing at him for an APD post at

WNVZ Norfolk?

Swapping? Any truth to the Cap Cities/ABC and Shamrock Communications swap rumors?

Sources say the companies are

looking at trading AOR-for- matted KQRS Minneapolis and Z100 New York. That would leave one duop in the Twin Cities (KQRS and Country K102) and one in the

Big Apple (Z 100 and WPLJ).

Who, Me? One major -market programmer is on shaky ground. The company is "not -so -quietly" searching for a replacement.

WXKS Boston PD Steve Rivers takes on additional responsibilities with Pyramid Broad- casting as well as a piece

of the action. His deal was made easier since one of his former employers made a rather substantial offer for his

services.

He's Back Former WKSE Buffalo Operations Manager Mike Edwards has resurfaced after a self- imposed sabbatical in North Carolina at WMGF Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre.

Hollywood A big story in The LA

Times touted former

Capitol President Hale Milgram as the new Hol- lywood honcho. After what happened the last time we made a prediction, for Hale's sake, we'll keep mum.

Rumors What's up with Kandy Klutch?

Does she miss the sun?

And what's going on with WKSI PD Rich Bailey?

Street Information Network Forty?

The biggest rumor on the streets is of the impending deal

between The Network Forty and S.I.N.. The Chrome Lizard tried to nail this one down, but no one at The Network Forty

would take my calls.

More Top 40s? Woodward Communications acquired WMMM and WYZM Madison last week. Will one or both of the signals go Top 40?

The leading indicators say yes.

-By The Chrome Lizard

KSLY San Louis Obispo has hired

Dave Christopher from KWTX Waco. Does this signal a move to

Top 40? Check out the Radio col-

umn in the News section.

You Tight -Lipped Bastards

It's too quiet out there? Is a

revolution planned?

Who Won? The second quarterly Gerry Peterson Memorial Golf Tournament was held in Las

Vegas last weekend. Those tee-

ing it up included Bill Pfordresher, Michael Prince, Justin Fontaine, Bruce Hix, Jim Parsons, Jeff Traeger, KLUC's Jerry Dean and Cat Thomas. In keeping with Peterson's reputation, no money was raised for charity.

Commentary by

Gerry Cagle

ED ITO RIAL

he phones at The Network Forty have literally been ringing off the hook the past few weeks. A lot of people in the radio and record com-

munity are expressing their opinions about various subjects and I, of

course, have a few of my own.

A month ago, in a letter to the industry, publisher

Bob Wilson of R&R hinted of an end to the parallel

system that has created controversy since its inception.

Most in both radio and records applauded the move.

The only opposition seemed to come from indepen-

dent promoters. R&R then ignored the consensus and

decided to continue the old, easily manipulated paral-

lel system. Why?

Three weeks ago, Joel Denver and Rds-R decided

that radio would begin reporting "forecasts" of Plays

Per Week. Joel was quick to tell anyone who would

take his call that everyone in radio wanted this "new"

innovation. He even claimed that he had discussed this

idea in advance with many programmers. Who? What

Joel actually discussed was the Rd'R on-line vaporware.

Most in radio are anxious to see this heralded system.

(Wouldn't anyone love to witness a miracle?) Hell,

we've been waiting for three years. But in the excite-

ment of his hype (Joel really has his Edsel pitch down

pat), he evidently forgot to mention his minor projec-

tion edit. There seems to be an Rd -R recession. Radio

isn't buying.

When it became evident that radio wasn't going to

bend to RerrR's latest dictate, Joel began calling pro-

grammers to say that record companies loved the

"forecasts" of Plays Per Week idea. Not so. In a survey

of 24 Sr. VPs, VPs and Promotion Directors, The Net-

work Forty found 24 who did not support "forecasts"

of Plays Per Week.

Who in the record community is Joel talking with?

What radio programmers are supporting "fore-

casts" of Plays Per Week?

The Network Forty differs from RefR in several

ways, but one is most important. We are dedicated to

reflecting radio's ideas. RérR dictates decisions to their

reporters. If "forecasts" of future plays were what radio

wanted, we would do it... just like Plays Per Week,

Overnight Requests, Promotions, Promo Planner, Sta-

tion Spotlight and Play It Say It. These features came

from radio to The Network Forty, not the other way

around.

Joel called those programmers who openly opposed Rde's "forecasts" (in last issue's Conference

Call) and questioned their opposition. One suggested

a 900 number so radio could vote on the issue. Joel

told him it didn't matter; Rd -R was going to do it any-

how.

We think it does matter. To make sure we continue

to accurately reflect the opinions of those in the radio

and record industries, we'll give you the opportunity

to "Voice Your Choice." Between 6 pm Monday, Sep-

tember 27 and 9 am Tuesday, September 28 (PDT),

you're encouraged to participate in The Network Forty

poll on "forecasts" of Plays Per Week. Those in favor

vote yes, those opposed or who won't participate vote

Can I say this one

more time? It's

reality, stupid.

Reflect it and I'll

shut up. And so

will the industry.

no. The call is toll -free at 1-800-443-4001. We'll pub-

lish the results in next week's issue. (Since all 800 calls

identify the number calling, we'll be able to disqualify

those from the Rd -R offices!)

Wasn't R&R's heralded vaporware (by the way, I

would love to take credit for that term, but it, too,

came from a radio programmer) promised to be in

place September 15? It still isn't available, but hey, I

for one, believe it's coming. Maybe October 15?

November 15? Christmas?

And what about the monitoring system that was

promised by Joel at the Conclave? It was supposed to

be up and running in New York, Los Angeles and

Chicago by September. Rumor has it that Rde tested

the system last week in LA and it was almost totally

inaccurate. Whatever, it's almost October and the

monitoring system isn't available as promised. (Is any-

one surprised?) Should we expect it in October? November? Christmas? This century?

Why does RdrR make their reporting stations call

in their playlists, costing time and money when other

trades take information by fax? Because it's easier for

Rd

Why doesn't Rde open their universe and let all

stations participate in the process? Why does a secret

"editorial board" decide what radio stations are worthy

of status? Is it because their antiquated computer sys-

tem only allows them to gather information from a

limited number of participants?

Why can't Rd -R let radio stations determine their

own identity? Who are they to tell a radio station what

format parameter it falls into?

If their on-line system ever goes on-line, will radio

stations be able to access the modem through a free

800 number or will stations have to pay long distance

charges?

Why has Rde been for sale for months without an

offer?

If Joel was listening to radio, he would know the

answers to many of these questions.

RdrR needs to understand that their autonomy is

over. Those in the radio and record communities nationally want to be a part of decisions that affect the

way they do business. What's good for RcbR is no

longer good for our industry. The only ones who

believe the opposite are those who work for RA.

Can I say this one more time? It's reality, stupid.

Reflect it and I'll shut up. And so will the industry.

Not all of my questions and comments centered

on R&R. Just to show that I'm an equal opportunity

basher, may I take some other, less serious shots?

I would like to thank those in the radio and record

community for making The Network Forty the most -

copied magazine in the universe. First, RdrR ripped off

our Plays Per Week. Now, Billboard follows suit. They

call their new Dance section "On The Tip," a heading

we've been using to indicate programmers' favorite

records since the inception of The Network Forty.

Thanks for the flattery, Michael. We gave Plays Per

Week to every other magazine (except Hitmakers... it's

a personal thing). We may not give up "On The Tip."

You should think about another title.

And Hits last week announced their new Rap Edi-

tor who, they said, came from The Network Forty. Bet-

ter check that resume, guys. She never worked here.

We know you can't read your magazine, but if you get

someone to read The Network Forty to you, you'll also

know we don't have a Rap Section. Yet.

See, just to keep them honest, we read all trade

magazines (except Hitmakers... it's a personal thing).

Something on your mind? Mail your opinion to The Network Forty.

Can we talk?

Here's the Scoop: Grammy nominee

TEVIN CAMPBELL',

debut album, T.E.V.I.N., spawned three

consecutive No. 1 R&B hits: "Tell Me What

You Want Me To Do" (also a Pop smash),

"Alone With You" and "Goodbye." It sold a ton (that's ton as in "a million"). His new

album is aptly titled I'M READY. The premier single is "Can We Talk."

Can we talk? Absolutely. When we've got a story this great, how can we resist?

ONE OF AMERICA'S TOP 10 WIXX describes itself in its sales

brochure as "one of America's premiere FM hit music stations." That's a strong statement, but one they back up with some

pretty impressive statistics. "Since early 1977, WIXX has been providing a careful

blend of the best hit music and the most popular Gold to give listeners the kind of variety that keeps them coming back for

more," it claims.

"WIXX has become such an important element in the daily lives of listeners that over 42% of all the people living in the Green Bay metro tune in WIXX each week. In the aspect of metro penetration, WIXX ranks in the Top 10 in America!" According to PD Dan Stone, "we're a her-

itage Top 40 station. Sometimes I like to even call it a classic Top 40 station. That's not because we play a lot of Oldies; it's be-

cause many people in this area grew up with WUOC and still listen to us."

WIXX serves two different geographical

areas. "We have listeners in both Green Bay and Appleton -Oshkosh. Our main competition comes from WQLH, a Hot AC here in Green Bay and 105.7 WAPL, the heritage AOR station in Appleton." WIXX also has some in -format competition in Appleton from WMGV.

Stability is one of the station's keys. Stone has been PD for two years and there's been no turnover since his arrival. "Our staff is great. Afternoon -driver David Burns has been here almost eight years. Steve Louizos has been here four and Mur -

Dan Stone phy (morning jock "Murphy In The Morning") came here with me two years ago. Even our overnight guy, Kevin Ross,

has been here over two years."

Stone describes the station as "the ulti- mate Mainstream station. We're quite con-

servative. Rap music just doesn't play here.

On the other end of the spectrum, Hard Rock and the hair bands really don't work well anymore, either." For library product, Stone points to "REO Speedwagon, Jour- ney and the like. These were hits that the station made famous. In fact, we have a lin-

er that we use, 'You heard them first on WIXX, now you hear them again' to show-

case those titles." -Pat Gillen

CONFERENCE CALL

FALL IN! The Fall book has begun! The GM and consultant dropped by to give you some re-

ally fantastic promotional ideas and you immediately took the 40 page notebook of

their ideas and lined the kids' bird cage with it. As always, their ideas were pri-

marily targeted at the 25-54 demo because it's "impossible" to sell lower end demos.

On this week's Programmer's Conference Call, we go in search of Fall book pro-

motional ideas designed to stimulate and increased cumulative listening, across-

the-board, throughout the 13 -week period.

This Week Featuring

J J COOK Corporate PD, Heritage Broadcasting

KANDY KLUTCH MD, WKSS Hartford

STEVE MEADE PD, KHTYSanta Barbara

JOHN PEAKE PD, KWMX Denver

What kind of promotions do you usually conduct during the Fall book?

JJ: I prefer to do TSL promotions during the

Fall, rather than cume-driven ones. People spend more time indoors during the Fall as

the weather cools off, so you have the opportunity to get them to listen for longer periods

of time. You might as well take advantage of that. On the flip side, Spring books are a

great time to build cume because people are

so active.

Kandy: Big, always big! We attempt to do at

least one major concert during the book. We

work well ahead of time to lock down major

movies that come out during the Fall. We do

some TV, some billboards and quite a lot of busboards. Getting out in the streets is al-

ways the priority during any book and we

concentrate on that as well.

Steve: We're big on flyaways; we enjoy those.

We like exotic, big and expensive ones. The last time we did this, we called it, "The World Class Shopping Adventure." We gave

people trips to Paris, London, New York, Milan... the list went on and on. This year,

we're putting a different spin on it. There's a

meeting on it in minutes, so stay tuned. We're limited in a lot of senses in outdoor advertising because there are no billboards in

Santa Barbara whatsoever. Busbacks are an-

other medium, but they're prohibitively ex-

pensive.

John: We're still in the baby stages of Mix 107.5, so our best promotions get us expo-

sure on the streets. We like any opportunity to get out. There's a major Octoberfest cele-

bration in Denver we're going to be heavily

involved with. Denver's about to open a gi-

gantic new airport and they're doing an air -

show this weekend. We'll be all over that with a half -million people in attendance. We'll be remote broadcasting, giving out prizes, shaking hands and kissing babies.

Have you found any particular promotions that deliver better than others during the Fall book?

JJ: I think cash is king. People have back -to -

school bills at the beginning of the Fall book and by the time it's over, they're thinking about Christmas. Money, of course, works

365 days a year, but it's perfect for the Fall

book. When we give away money in the Fall,

it's got to be done with fun. Games work better in the Fall; the best games recycle lis-

teners from one daypart to another and help

build Time Spent Listening.

Kandy: One promotion, that I've done at

other stations, generated as much response here in Hartford. In the 18 months I've been

at WKSS, we've done it three times and I get

calls about it daily. People are constantly telling me they have a dollar bill with 9, 5

and 7 in sequence in the serial number. The contest, obviously, is to exchange dollar bills

with our frequency 95.7 in the serial number for $100 bills. For some reason, it's a constant winner in this market. Another one we

do each year is the "Boo Bash." This is a

Halloween promotion where we have a party with bands and everyone shows up in cos-

tume. In Milwaukee, we did the same promotion called the "Bone Bop." Can you get more vibrant than a "Bone Bop?"

Steve: This is southern California - one big

summer - and we attempt to promote it as

such. We had a drought two or three years

ago in this part of the state, so we did drought -oriented promotions quite frequently. They were effective, cute and timely. Spontaneous promotions are okay as long as

you're careful. Giving tickets to the Michael

Jackson petting zoo was a cute idea 91X in

San Diego did... very timely, but I don't know if we'd go that far.

John: Usually in the Fall, I find that direct mail and telemarketing work best. Those two

types function best and remember, Denver has rather unpredictable Fall weather, so outside stuff can be tough to do. When weather prevents outdoor events, telemarketing to hot zips and businesses works well.

How do you design promotions to entertain and attract cume to your station?

JJ: If you're going to do a cume-building contest, it needs to be big and stand out. It needs to be so different that people every -

CONFERENCE CALL where in your market will talk about it. Word-of-mouth is still the best cume builder

for any radio station. Although TV, billboards and busboards can help, particularly in some markets, they're not mandatory. Creativity can go a long way.

Kandy: We constantly stay on top of the spontaneous things. When the Heidi Fleiss

thing came out, we did a "Heidi Fleiss Black

Book Weekend." That was entertaining, to

say the least. Radio can react to anything go-

ing on at any second, so these things always

entertain and get listeners and potential lis-

teners involved. We constantly cross -plug from shift to shift. Our morning show does a

"Dirty Joke Of The Week" where they give

the first line on the morning show and tell lis-

teners they have to call me in the afternoon to

get the punch line. This works very well.

Sometimes the jokes are just sick and twisted.

Steve: We're into forced listening. I don't know if it's planned out to be the answer, but we do things like the "Key Song Of The Day,"

where we play it in the morning and when you

hear it later in the day, you call in to win... those sorts of things. They give off a sense of urgency and hopefully build quarter-hours.

John:You have to plan, set up and execute properly. We look at two different types of promotions. One is strategic promotions de-

signed specifically to increase listening, like

an at -work promotion. Then there are the other types that generate new listeners or

cume to the station. They're the ones out on

the street - remote broadcasts or handing out small prizes or whatever.

Dig through your memory cells for the best

radio promotion you've ever been involved with.

JJ:I still think the best promotion was "The Last Contest." I ripped that one off while I

was in Lincoln. We had 180 different prize

packages and it really sounded like we were

giving away a ton! (Ed's Note: Look for an

aircheck of KCBQ San Diego's version of "The Last Contest" on the next Network 40 CD TuneUp.)

Kandy: That's tough. (Pregnant Pause) Can I

single out a couple? "The Black Box" at

WAPE was incredible. Listeners had to iden-

tify nine items in the box and the station gave out clues. [Marc] Driscoll was a genius

at coming up and announcing the clues. Lis-

teners could win trips, his -and -her mopeds,

all kinds of things. The whole concept was

"Guess It And Win It" with the ninth item

being a... gas cap. It was a phenomenal. Also,

the first "Most Outrageous" contest we did

here was cool. The prize was a Toyota Paseo

for the most outrageous stunt. The first run-

ner-up flossed his nose, thereby winning a

trip to Cancun. The winner - it gets disgust-

ing here - snorted five raw oysters up his

nose... with hot sauce. You should have

heard what that sounded like across the air-

waves. We had great news coverage on that one. The promos after it were great as well.

Steve: One of the most successful was the food drive we did last year where we were able

to accumulate about seven tons of food. It was

for Christmas Unity, a charity that distributes

food for needy families. We set it up where lo-

cal organizations got together and collected

the food, and clients came up with prizes for

the most collected. We ended up with some

great prizes for those who got involved and

the whole thing worked very well. Everybody

who brought something got something.

John: It's a tie. We did "Diego A Day" where all summer long, we sent a different listener each day for a weekend getaway to

San Diego with free hotel, airfare and a

whole prize package. We did that one at KRQQ. The other one was, "The Winners Choice Prize Catalogue," where you direct -

mail a catalogue to all zips in the market and

each day you award a different prize from a

different page. All the books were num- bered. If we called your number out, you had a certain amount of time to call in and pick from that day's page. That was a lot of fun to do.

HE NETWORK FORTY INTERVIEW

J.J. McKay Entertain To Win

INTERVIEW BY DWAYNE WARD

first met J.J. McKay in the control room of

WROQ-FM Charlotte. At the time, the station

was being programmed by Randy Kabrich; a

new control room almost identical to Z-100 New

York was under construction. The existing control

room J.J. was working out of was barely operational,

so he was less than eager to spend any time with a

geek news reporter who stumbled in to say hello and

stare in awe as he worked his magic with the micro-

phone. Almost 10 years later, he was still less than

thrilled to give me a half-hour of phone time to dis-

cuss his experiences in radio and his successful rookie

year as quarterback of the Dallas Top 40 KHKS. The

more things change...

Let's begin by discussing how you

developed an interest in radio.

Well, my daddy was a D.J. He worked at

KLAC Los Angeles for about 10 years as

Chuck Sullivan. Through some sort of osmosis, I found a natural gravitational

pull toward the industry. At the same

time he was running a station in Corona,

California, I began by doing weekend

button -pushing for all the religious shows... God Squad stuff.. during high

school. After high school, I got involved

in the nightclub thing. During the day I

was playing semi -pro football and after

five years of it and a nice knee injury, it

dawned on me that I wasn't going to get

the pro tryout I so desperately wanted de-

spite being 5'10", 235 and running a 4.8

40. I should've been, I should've been....

Earth to J.J.... Huh? Anyway, once that was over with, I

got more involved with the nightclub work on a full-time basis and eventually

got an opportunity to work weekends at

an AM station in Herndon, Virginia. Some broadcasters were in for a conven-

tion from Cleveland, staying at the hotel

I was working at and they were betting

on which radio station in town I worked

for. At that time I hadn't even been on

the radio yet. These guys offered me af-

ternoons in Cleveland for $25,000 and I

turned them down because it would've

been a pay cut. The club thing was very

profitable. When I finally did decide to

go with radio, it was at the aforemen-

tioned station in Herndon. Doug McGuire, who was also just starting out,

hired me. [McGuire is now VP/Program-

ming with EZ Communications]

Did the Virginia experience get your

interests settled into radio?

Definitely. I sucked, but apparently

somebody heard something they liked

and when I responded to an ad in the

trades for a gig in Wichita Falls, they of-

fered me the job and I thought, "what the

hell... let's go with this thing."

Now let's jump forward to present-day

and what's going on in Dallas.

This is almost like It's A Wonderful Life in

reverse. It's really funny because when

Evergreen changed from Y95 [KHYI] to

Oldies KODZ, they asked me to stick

around and do the APD/afternoon drive

thing. It was cool because, with one ex-

ception, we were all Top 40 guys. KODZ

died and LMA'ed with the crosstown

young Country, then all of these rumors

began flying around town about the Gan-

nett station going Top 40. Having known Gerry [DeFrancesco] from 10

years earlier when he hired me at KIIS,

the rumors really piqued my interest. I

gave him a call and of course, initially, he

denied everything as he should. At the

same time during the conversation, he

asked me for my programming philoso-

phy, which of course I immediately an-

swered. Three or four days later he called

me back saying, "We're going to change

formats of our station in town and we

want you to meet with our consultant to

see if we can get you involved." That's ba-

sically how it all started... a year ago, mid -

October.

When you first sat down with these

guys, did they tell you they wanted to

flip to Top 40?

Definitely. Everyone knew the hole in the

marketplace was for Top 40. At the time,

the strong 18-34 station was Mix 92.9...

basically winning by default and by being

boring. Gannett came in, researched the

market and found the hole not to be Top

40 music but for Top 40 as an entertain-

ment medium. We had a lot of initial conversations about the entertainment as-

pects and as an air personality, that is ex-

actly what I wanted to do. There was no

entertainment here. Everyone was doing

10 in a row, or 40 minutes of this and 45

minutes of that.

Discuss the steps you took to put the station on the air.

With all the rumors flying around, it was

fun in that the consultant and myself

couldn't even step foot into the radio sta-

tion, so we did everything from a hotel

room. We sat around listening to old '68

through '72 airchecks and finding in our

minds the kind of sound we wanted to

have at KHKS. The original thought was

to go jockless but I talked consultant Jay

Mitchell and Gerry DeFrancesco into

thinking about all the unemployed disc

jockeys in town from the old KEGL and

KHYI. The angle we took was to get



some of these people on the air to "audi-

tion" for the job. KIIS-FM in Los Ange-

les, leaning more Hot AC at the time, carted all the music up, sent it here along

with the Selector program parameters and

basically we put the radio station togeth-

er. We started November 1st of last year

at 1:11 in the morning. Eleven One... one eleven... get it?

Got it!

It was interesting because we had to take

all the music we got from KIIS-FM in

L.A. and look at it as what it was (Hot AC) and try to get musically on track as a

Top 40.

Did you have to go out and buy any

records?

No, because whatever we needed, L.A.

would send us. At that point, the record

companies were still intrigued by the ru-

mors. I basically told all the record people

we would have a conversation when the time was right.

Lets go back to the talent thing... all

the displaced jocks sitting on their hands in Dallas.

The first phone call I made was to Leigh

Ann, who's now doing middays here. I

had read that KEGL had let her go about three weeks prior and I knew I could call

her because she had no immediate desire

to leave Dallas. There were two or three

jocks at KODZ I knew I could contact as

well as a couple other KEGL people who

had been released. With this in mind, I

began making phone calls under the premise we were going to allow them to

"audition" on the air for the job and if they didn't get the job, at least they got a

current aircheck with those neat KIIS- FM jingles.

Everyone I spoke with really liked the

idea of coming in to a brand new radio

station and trying to win a job. After we

put them on the air, Jay Mitchell and I

were listening and discussing how great

the station sounded and how it would be

a good idea to have people do this all the

time... audition for their job every day.

[laughs] At least this way, you wouldn't have any screw -ups and everyone would

be going in the same direction.

Was Domino in Dallas?

No, actually Domino was still in Atlanta

and I remember Joel Denver.... oops, never mind... I got a phone call saying he

was available and that he would be calling

me. Sure enough, he called me and we

began chatting about what we're doing

here. He asked for an audition, we flew

him in, put him on the air and his perfor-

mance was just unbelievable. I was doing

mornings the next day and calls were

coming in asking when Domino would

be on the air again. A light went off and I

said to the GM, "hey, let's hire this guy."

What went through your mind when

talk centered on bringing him to L.A.?

I'm sure the immediate success of this sta-

tion has piqued a few ears in Los Angeles.

entertaining, someone people can latch

onto and someone with his or her own

unique, separate personality. The people

I'm looking at have more personality than

the typical night jock with phone bits;

that's what's needed in that time slot at

I didn't really talk to Jeff Wyatt that much, but every time the ratings came

out, he would congratulate me on the numbers. When L.A. began looking at

their situation and considered changes,

and Gannett always looks within before

going outside, it made sense for them to

talk to Domino. He always wanted to

work at KIIS-FM in L.A. since he was a

baby D.J., so when the offer came in, the

obvious seemed imminent.

When you have a guy who works as

hard as he does, both on and off the air,

you want to keep him, so when L.A.

came calling, I was initially dead set against losing him. It was like cutting off my nose to spite my face, but from a

company standpoint it made a lot of sense to put him in Los Angeles.

To replace him, are you looking for

someone similiar or different? Nights is

the second hub of any successful Top 40 radio station. True, although you're talking to an after-

noon guy who takes exception to that. Anyway, [laughs] when you look at the

ratings, I have the #1 cume at this station,

so again, I take exception with that state-

ment. Seriously, there was a huge void in

this market for a high -profile jock when

Domino came in and set the table. So

when you look at nights, part two, at this

station, it has to be someone as equally

KHKS.

Let's shift gears and discuss your moonlighting career as a voice guy for

stations across the country.

At every station I've worked at, I've al-

ways ended up doing the voice work for

the station - especially the promos. When

you do anything often enough, obviously

you get better at it - honing your craft, so

to speak. When I was doing mornings in

D.C. for Kabrich, Dave Parks from KSDO in San Diego (a Top 40 at the time) was in town for the RAB, or NAB,

or one of the AB conventions. He heard

the stuff we were doing at WAVA and he

called Randy Kabrich to find out who it

was... it was me. KSDO got the whole

thing going. When I was at KKHT, I

sent out demo tapes. This was the same

time Pirate Radio was going on in L.A.,

so Kabrich and Scott Shannon asked me

to be the voice of Pirate. At that point, the whole thing began snowballing. For

more details on the voice stuff, please re-

fer to page 41 of this magazine. Nice cross -plug huh?

Let's talk about the Hot Hits phenomenon of the mid -'80s and why it hasn't translated into the '90s.

I don't know if that's right. When you

look at Hot Hits, you have to remember,

Top 40 got away from the center. We

weren't as focused as we used to be. So far

this decade, the same translation can be

drawn with the Rap stuff in the past cou-

ple of years. All Hot Hits is... is refocus-

ing your radio station back to the Top 40

mode. That is what Mike Joseph did in

the early/mid-'80s and that's why the for-

mat surged. When Hot Hits went on, I

was mesmerized by the energy and the

quick, focused entertainment. Forever

and a day, Top 40 has been an entertain-

ment spot on your radio dial and every

time we get away from this simple fact,

the format falls apart. To win, Top 40

has to play the hits and play them often.

It does translate to the '90s if you play the

hits - the ones people want to hear - and

have fun on the radio. Give them an en-

tertainment spot on the dial.

I know I'm the proverbial dog with a

bone about this, but I have to ask your views on the impact of digital

technology on commercial radio.

I'm glad you brought it up; it's also one

my favorite topics. How will it affect commercial radio? Give me the razor blade; it's scary as hell. We will simply have to out -entertain digital radio. Obvi-

ously, subscribers to digital radio are

there for specific types of music, so we

positively, absolutely have to entertain our listeners. This is the only way com-

mercial radio will survive. As far as learn-

ing about digital technology, I spend a lot

of time reading up on it and I would en-

courage every other broadcaster out there

to do likewise.

Shifting from negative to positive and excluding KHKS, where have you had

the most fun in radio at?

I had a blast at KIIS in L.A. Being around

Big Ron O'Brien, Rick Dees, Tim Kelly

and Bruce Vidal was just an incredible part of my life. Mornings at WROQ FM

in Charlotte was a blast... anytime you go

from a 6.0 to an 8.5 in one book is. Yet

after dropping all those names and call

letters, the absolute most fun I ever had

on the radio as a jock and air personality

was at WBCY in Charlotte - afternoon

drive with Reggie Blackwell programming the station. I got to do my thing, it

was simply great and I just had a ball.

Everyone in town knew who I was, I was

successful with the numbers, I put a

tremendous amount of work and effort

into the show and when the final product made it on the air, I hated to leave the

control room each day.

By the way, are you still pissed off at

me for revealing your real name when

you were kicking ass at WBCY and I was across the street at WROQ-FM?

Music MEETING TEVIN CAMPBELL

"Can We Talk"

(QWEsT/WB)

There's not too much more you can say about this young superstar who has already collected a Grammy nomi- nation and spawned three consecutive #1's off his debut album. This slow groove puts the soloist back on top with his sexy, dynamic vocal

range. Produced by Babyface

and Quincy Jones, the long- awaited album, I'm Ready, is

heavily influenced by master musician Prince. It's obvious

Tevin will have no problem duplicating his success because when he sings, people listen!

THE OCEAN BLUE

"Sublime" ($IRE/REPRISE)

Following their success on Alternative radio, newcom- ers Ocean Blue debut with an infectious Folkish tune guaranteed to have you singing along on the first listen. Already leading the pack out of the gates at WZAT Savannah, "Sub- lime" is a tasty, soothing tune which will work for all demographics. From the much -heralded album, Be-

neath The Rhythm And Sound, the Ocean Blue navigates smooth sailing in

"Sublime."

MATTHEW SWEET

"Time Capsule" (zoo)

Displaying a more direct spontaneous approach, this

TEVIN CAM I' It I I. I.

Lincoln, Nebraska native strikes home with very relat- able lyrics accompanied by

the razor-sharp organic guitar

we've come to expect from Matthew Sweet. Reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac and Lind- say Buckingham (largely due to the influence of producer Richard Dashut), Sweet's "Time Capsule" is an exquis-

ite foray into down-to-earth Folk that's already breaking out of the midwest and south, with other regions soon to follow. So turn the egg timer over and when the grains of sand run out, this song should be on.

ROBERT PLANT

"I Believe"

(Es PARANzA/ATLANTIc/AG)

In an uncharacteristic fashion, a mid -tempo blockbuster that pulls no punch- es, Robert Plant vaults back with a fresh provocative cadence. The ex -Led Zep- pelin vocalist exhibits a

totally different vocal style that, without a doubt, appeals to all age demographics. The legendary songwriter delivers a song that should storm out - of -the -box and take very little convincing before "you believe."

DAVE KOZ

"You Make Me Smile" (CAPITOL)

As slyly provocative as the song's title would indicate, "Koz" displays his romantic passion through his saxo- phone in dramatic style. Koz

has soared in notoriety since

becoming a regular with the Posse on the Arsenio Hall show, not to mention his outstanding performance on the steamy daytime drama General Hospital. The Los Angeles native blends Jazz, R&B and Adult Contempo- rary into a perfect upper - demo Pop sound, which

LENNY KRAVITZ

'Are You Gonna Go My Way"

(VIRGIN)

Right out of the box, the title cut of Kravitz' album be-

came an instant favorite with Rock and Alternative Radio program directors nationwide. Shades of Hendrix -a nice grungy-driven guitar with a crunchy rhythm beat highlights this funked Rock release. As illustrated on The

Network Forty's X Chart, "Are You Gonna Go My Way" is a proven "no -brain - er" that's ready to blister Mainstream radio with Kravitz' serious 'tude.

LEA SALONGA

"We Could Be In Love"

(ATI.nNTic/AG)

Debuting on the American music scene this week is a

duet of a song that's spiced with tasty lyrics about an impending romance. The first single from the self -titled al-

bum introduces us to the smooth vocals of Lea Salon- ga, accompanied by the suavity of Brad Kane that

spells only one word - hit. As GMs continue to demand female numbers, Lea will "bring home the goods" with cultivat- ed harmonies on "We

Could Be In Love." An all -around -the - clock ballad which correlates brilliantly to the needs of your audience, this melod- ic masterpiece is ready for rotation at

your station.

FAST FORWARD FOLLOW-UPS: Al-

though Billy Joel's "River Of Dreams" (Columbia) is still climbing The Net- work Forty's Main- stream music chart, the next release, "All About Soul," is slated for mid -Octo- ber... Brian McKnight picks

up the pace in the follow-up to his Top -5 smash with "The Way Love Goes" (Mer- cury). This soulful groove is

set for early October, but is

already receiving early airplay at Crossover radio.

LENNY K RAVI 'Tv

LONG TIME, NO HEAR: In early October, expect the

much -anticipated track from Color Me Badd "Time And Chance" (Giant/Reprise) to showcase CMB in superb fashion... Further on up the road, Adult fave Richard Marx returns to radio with "Now And Forever" (Capi- tol) in December.

II D EXTREME

"Up On The Roof" (GASOLINE ALLEY/MCA)

This year is known by many as "the year

of the remakes," so it's only appropriate

with the segue from summer to autumn

that another stellar cover track is

released. II D Extreme's soulful simmer -

er reflects those memories and activities

of the summer's past in a nostalgic way

with the Drifters' #5 smash. An instant-

ly familiar replete as performed by

young hip harmonizers, "Up On The

Roof" can blow out across the board.

ONYX

"Shifftee" (JMJ/ItAL/Cttwos)

Empty record sleeves and bags of dirt

were just teasers for this highly anticipat-

ed follow-up to the huge Rap and

Crossover hit, "Slam." Produced by

Chyskillz & Jam Master Jay (who also

produced "Slam"), this jam doesn't miss

a beat and there's no mistaking this four-

some's - Big DS, Suavé, Fredro and

Sticky Fingaz - unique lyrical delivery.

ANGIE & DEBBIE

"Light Of Love" (CAPITOL)

The youngest siblings of the extremely

talented Winans clan, Angie and Debbie

follow in the family footsteps with a

heartfelt, contemporary song of praise

titled "Light Of Love." Produced and

written by Steve Harvey and Gary

Brown, this song is a well -tempered

debut showcase for these young ladies.

Backing vocal assistance is provided by

Whitney Houston - look for Angie and

Debbie as the opening act on Whitney's

latest tour.

ERICK SERMON

"Stay Real" (DEF JAmiRAL/Ct-[Aos)

No newcomer to the scene, Erick

Sermon is well known from his days

with EPMD. Now he goes solo with this

CROSSOVER first single from his forthcom-

ing No Pressure. Sermon drops

the bomb on this kick -ass jam

which he produced, adding

extra Funk with samples from

Zapp's "Dance Floor."

THA ALKAHOLIKS

"Make Room" (Loup/RCA)

Out at Rap radio since early

July, this tune cracked the Top

5, helping to propel sales of 21

d Over past 100,000. E. Swift

drops his production skills on

this Funk -induced Hip -Hop

jam. Already in rotation at

KMEL, KBXX, KPRR, KSFM

and WWKX, it's also in the

mix at WQHT, WPGC,

WIOQ, WJMN, WHYT,

KUBE and WERQ.

A BEAT AHEAD YOU SPIN ME RIGHT

'ROUND... Word to the vinyl

God who brings us U 96's "Love Sees

No Colour" (ffrr/PLG). Hypnotic in its

intensity, this Trance mover brings back

the excellent "Living On Video" by

Trans X - which you can still hear on

both KPWR and KROQ - in the

House Mix. Of course there's a shorter,

more radio -friendly version (and it's on

CD!) - the Living On Edits mix...

Seems like ffrr has all the groovy vinyl

these days. Still causing a commotion in

the clubs and mix shows is The

Goodmen's "Give It Up" (ffrr/PLG). If

you're looking for an easier way to mix

into it, try Pippi's "Noche Latina"

Percussion Mix of B -Tribe's "Fiesta

Fatal" (Atlantic/AG). And while we're

talking about B -Tribe, give a spin to the

Barcelona Tribe Megamix. This mix is

completely different and completely

cool... On the Alternative Dance tip,

look for Red Red Groovy's "Another

Kind Of Find" (Continuum). Give

Curtis Urbina a call at 908-709-0011

C)IV YX

for your copy... Jocks are all a'buzz over

Evolution's remake of the Chic classic

"Everybody Dance" (RCA). This will

be the lead-off single from the forth-

coming deConstrucion (that fabulous

import label) compilation.

T MINUS 90... Yes, that's right - there's only 90 shopping days left before

Christmas. And to keep you busy for

the next 89, there's a plentitude of new

singles on the event horizion. Look for:

Atlantic Starr's "Everyone Had

Summer" (Arista), Awesome 3's "Don't

Go" (White Label/American Re-

cordings), Dino's "Endlessly"

(EastWest), Lonnie Gordon's

Happening All Over Again '93"

(SBK/ERG), Jody Watley's "Your Love

Keeps Workin' On Me" (MCA), PM

Dawn's "Norwegian Wood" (Gee

Street/Island/PLG), Legacy Of Sound's

"Can't Let You Go" (RCA), Zapp &

Roger's "Slow & Easy" and Ultra

Nate's "Show Me" (WB).

AND THE BANDS PLAYED ON... It

was quite a fun -filled Saturday (9/18) as

Inner Circle, the Stereo MC's, PM

Dawn and the Drummers Of Burundi

performed before a crowd of thousands

at the WOMAD festival. WOMAD - World Of Music, Arts and Dance - was

originated by Peter Gabriel and has been

going on for over a decade throughout

Europe. The best performance was by

Mercury recording group James. If you

have an Alternative show or just like

Alternative music, a copy of their forth-

coming LP, Laid is a must. Watch this

band make major noise at Mainstream

and Alternative radio very soon. Check

Karen Holmes' Gen X for more info.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY greetings to

Mercury's Stacy Cantrell who hit the

big three -oh (9/17).

UP NEXT: Jonathon Rosen debuts his independent record pro-

motion company, opening "From The Arm Of Jonathon L." with

the motto, "I won't work anything that I myself wouldn't put on the

air." His first projects are Interscope's Rocket From The Crypt and

Chameleon Records' The Popes. Also in the works: Jonathon is

looking to host America's second -longest running Alternative music

show next to KROQ's "Rodney On The Rock," "Virgin Vinyl."

Two stations in the Phoenix market are vying for the show. And if all isn't coming up roses in Jonathon's world, his daughter gave birth

to his second granddaughter last Thursday. Kelly -Morgan, born at

Tuscon General, came in at a healthy 8 pounds, 13 ounces.

LITERALLY PARTYING IN THE STREETS: WFNX Boston

put a new slant on an old promotion. Taking the festival concert

concept, they closed down a full block of Landsdowne St. and turned it into one mega -party. At one end of the street, a huge outdoor stage was set up for those not packing the four clubs lining the

street. On the main stage was Black 47, Tribe, Ric Ocasek and X.

Each club had a separate shows featuring Dramarama, Ocean Blue

and David Byrne at Avilon; Smack Melon, Dig, The Posies and

Buffalo Tom at Axis; Redd Kross and local acts Marchinery Hall and Big Catholic Guilt at Venus. For just $10, over 6,000 patrons

were allowed entrance to the street to take in all this entertainment. Proceeds of the show went to Shelter Inc., an organization fighting

against homelessness in the Boston area. WFNX has had a long his-

tory of supporting the charity. Last year, such an event raised $25,000. This year's festival will generate at least that much. Helping pull off this promotion was the Lyons Management firm

that owns all four clubs, which made coordinating the event easier.

The bash appeared on MTV's The Week In Rock show last weekend.

WHAT'S UP: KBAC MD Yon Hudson calls Boo Radleys the

Pink Floyd of the '90s and highly recommends them to anyone.

Also he suggests everyone go to a Cranes show. In New Mexico

they treated the screaming crowd to a five -song encore - and a one -

song encore after that!... An Alice In Chains EP is due the end of October. The first single is called "Jar Of Flies" (Columbia). Pearl

Jam will start touring in November with a variety of groups such as

Eleven and Urge Overkill... A review of WOMAD: James, James,

James!!! It was nothing short of an awesome performance! The Stereo MC's had absolutely everyone dancing without exception.

Sinead was cheered for her performance with the show -stopper himself: Peter Gabriel.

LOCAL BANDS MAKE GOOD: WENZ Cleveland enhances

its image by hosting a new show on Sunday nights called "Inner Sanctum," featuring old and new music from local artists. KWOD Sacramento PD Alex Cosper has hosted a similar show for several

years called, "Sound Of Sacramento." He notes that "the show has

really increased the public's view of our commitment to the

community."

The Best Kissers In The World: How Good Are They?? The title to the new album by The

Best Kissers In The World, Been There,

takes on a new meaning when the band

describes how they recorded the album.

"We recorded it at home after the studio

sessions just flopped," Gerald Collier says.

"I just couldn't pull it off in such an

impersonal atmosphere. So, we ended up

recording the whole thing in my house."

And what does this band want everybody

to know about them?

The Best Kissers have been kickin' it

for about six years with mainstays singer

Gerald Collier and David Swafford keep-

ing the vibe alive. Originally from Arizona,

they migrated to Seattle, making them-

selves local faves in two states. "There's

been a lot of progression, most notably

with the EP we released," Gerald says.

"Members have come and gone. It's proba-

bly desperation that brought us together.

We're in Seattle now and now that they

love us, we love it there. As people, they

think we're cool. They'll let us pay for any

beer they want to drink."

When guitarist Jeff Stone notes, "But

we don't want to be labeled a Seattle band,"

Gerald explains, "we're dearly a Maryland

band. Unfortunately, drummer Tim

Arnold was unavailable for comment due to

an in -grown liver. It's getting better, though.

Everything should be okay by noon."

Six years of touring has given the band

a following in more than just those two

states. "Touring has also given us a confi-

dence," Jeff says. "It's made it so we don't

suck." "Yeah, you can do anything you

want," Gerald adds. "You can step into a

studio and do it O.K. but you've got to be

on the point to carry it off live. We used to

be only capable of putting out some crap-

py stuff. Now while it's the same old crap,

it sounds better."

Their Los Angeles gig had them

opening up for local legends X. "Playing

with them couldn't hurt us," Gerald con-

tinues. "We've been out with School Of

Fish, Social Distortion and others, but

being with such a legendary band, espe-

cially in L.A., was definitely a challenge,"

says Jeff. "So far, people

have been enjoying our

show. The response seems

to be good."

After their show at the

Palace in Hollywood, the

band was pumped. The

show was great and as the

band suggested, they were

warmly received. The quartet

was especially high because

they had also just seen some

of the edits to their video for

the first single, "Miss Teen

U.S.A."... and Tim seemed

to recover nicely from "in-

grown liver." Look for the new single and

the video for "Miss Teen U.S.A." later next

month. Meanwhile, keep your eyes open

as they hit the road to visit radio on an

extensive radio promo tour, hitting as

many as three markets a day!

SISTERS OF MERCY "Under The Gun" (MERCIFUL RELEASE/ELEKTRA)

Gothic God Andrew Eldritch gives us the

merciless release of hits on the Greatest Hits

Volume One , a showcase of the best Gothic

Rock ever. Induded are "This Corrosion,"

"Temple Of Love" (previously only available

as an import) and "More" - this Gothic

lover's lave. And last but certainly not least,

there's new music, too! Eldritch takes a back

seat to ex-Berlin'er Terri Nunn in a ballad

duet called "Under The Gun." Nunn rounds

out Andrew's talent for finding incredible

females voices to collaborate with. Andrew's

contribution to the sexual passion is sublimi -

Sis rrcris (r M rcric'v

nal with taunting vocals that intensifies

Nunn's pipes.

ELEVEN

"Crash Today" (THIRD RAIL/HOLLYwooD)

Although this is their debut release for

Hollywood, these LA natives are hardly new

to the scene Alain Johannes originally started a

band called "What Is This" with drummer Jack

Irons and guitarist Hillel Slovak (who both

spent time with some other band named the

Red Hot Chili Peppers) Two mutations later,

Johannes and Irons team up with singer/bassist

Natasha Schneider on this Pat McCarthy -pro-

duced (U2, Butthole Surfers, the Watetboys)

quasi-Fishbone-meets-Rock release. The loud,

infectious groove of Eleven unites the band for

its second release and a second time around

touring with Pearl Jam on their West Coast leg.

KEROSENE

"Everybody's Icon" (SIRE/Ws)

Arrhythnmia, Kereosene's debut

album follows the stateside release of the

EP Worthless and two UK -only EPs. The

first single from the full-length release

"Everybodys Icon" following the EP single

"Worthless," takes the trend that Jesus

Jones started with their sound a step fur-

ther. Memorable hooks, unprecedented

energy and Techno-guitar combos create

an attitude -ridden treasure. The quartet's

emergence onto the scene began with

opening for Ned's Atomic Dustbin before

they headlined in the UK.

BJÖRK "Venus As A Boy" (Er.RKTRA)

Björk Gudmundsdottir, the slightly

bizarre Icelandic soloist, was quoted as saying

that her time with the Sugarcubes was a joke.

That it wasn't indicative of her own personal

style. With Debut her first solo release, she

unveils her true self in thought provoking

lyrics, a lush sound and revealing personal

awakenings. The album's first single, "Human

Behavior," aossed over Dance floor barriers to

become an Alternative radio Top -10 hit. The

collaboration of Björk and Soul II Soul pro-

ducer, Nellee Hooper casts a Dance club

expression with a more adult view which, all

in all, offers an adult jazz flair composition of

horns mixed with a atmospheric house beat.

"Venus As A Boy," enhances the alluring

magnetism of this interesting artist.

neXt X: Machines Of Loving Grace's "Butterfly

Wings" (Mammoth/AdantidAG) continues

to maintain a place in KROQ's most request-

ed, while MD Gene Sandbloom has made

"All Apologies" his next fave for Nirvana

(DGC). He also suggests everyone getting

their hands on "Jimmy's Fantasy" from

Redd Kross (Mercury). Columbia's Todd

Bisson recent jaunt to record stores in the UK

basically broke him, but at least he found out

what Europe is raving about: Ace Of Base

isn't a one hit wonder, "Happy Nation" and

"Wheel Of Fortune" are big. One Dove's

"White Love" is hotter than ever, as is a col-

laboration between Jah Wobble and a

woman whose name is the copyright symbol

(no kidding) on London Records and a

group called 18 Wheeler on Creation.

IT3 ON THE COVER

NEW ORDER [QWEST/WB) The roots of New Order go back to the early days

of the British Punk movement, when Bernard Sumner

and Peter Hook formed Joy Division with singer Ian Curtis. The trio created gloomy Techno-New Wave

exemplified in the band's most renowned song, "Love

Will Tear Us Apart." Joy Division was the hottest group in England

when, hours before they were about to leave for their first American tour, Curtis hung himself. The remain- ing members of the band added guitar/synth player Gillian Gilbert and became New Order in 1980.

New Order built upon Joy Division's popularity in the U.K. and slowly developed an underground Al-

ternative following here. Their danceable synth -based

Techno-Wave first hit it big here with the 12" single,

"Blue Monday," which sold over 10 million records worldwide.

Other New Order songs that became Alternative

staples: "Perfect Kiss," "Bizarre Love Triangle" arid "Ttue Faith."

Their previous single, "World In Motion," be-

came the anthem for England's World Cup soccer team in 1990.

Sumner has also appeared in a side project, Elec-

tronic, with former Morrissey guitarist Johnny Marr in 1991.

Their new album, Republic, was produced by Stephen Hague.

Their current single is "World (The Price Of Love)."

BRUCE HORNSBY (RCA) Born November 23, 1954 in Williamsburg, VA,

Hornsby went to the Berklee School of Music and Universi-

ty of Miami, where he played the Miami Beach bar mitzvah

circuit.

A failed house writer for 20th Century Fox, Bruce played in a bar band in the Jolly Ox Lounge in Hampton Virginia. One of the people who caught him there was

Michael McDonald. He moved to Los Angeles in 1980. He formed the

band The Range in 1984. Although he was recruited by the

ambient music/Jazz label Windham Hill Records, Bruce

signed to RCA in 1985 and hit it big right off the bat with the #1 single, "The Way It Is." He won the Best New Artist Grammy in 1986.

Other Top 40 hits include "Mandolin Rain," "Every

Little Kiss" and "The Valley Road."

Hornsby has also worked with a variety of artists, in-

cluding Don Henley, Cheap Trick, Lou Reed, Sting, Bruce

Springsteen, Bob Dylan and Bob Seger, among many oth-

ers.

Bruce toured as the guest keyboardist for the Grate-

ful Dead on over 100 shows. He also produced the most recent album by Leon Russell.

Almost two years ago, Hornsby decided to re -start his

career, this time without The Range. With contributions from Bonnie Raitt, Phil Collins, Branford Marsalis and Fishbone guitarist John Bingham, Hornsby created the new album, Harbor Lights.

The current single is "Fields Of Grey."

JODECI (UPTOWN/MCA) Brothers JoJo (age 19) and K -Ci (21) hail from

Charlotte, NC. Brothers Dr. Dalvin (19) and DeVante Swing (21) are from Hampton, VA. The group's name is

an amalgamation of JoJo, Devante and K -Ci.

JoJo and K -Ci frequently sang with the Tiny Grove Baptist Church Choir. In another part of Charlotte, re-

cent emigres Davlin and SeVante were performing with Rev. Don Grate and the DeGrate Delegation.

Dalvin and DeVante started entering local talent shows and got into R&B. Before they were about to start

cutting demos, they hooked up with JoJo and K -Ci; they were dating the same girls.

With a four -track tape and $300 between them,

JoJo, Devante and K -Ci ignored their parents' warnings

and hopped into DeVante's '88 Ford Escort to find fame and fortune in New York. After a few dead ends, they wound up at MCA's Manhattan offices.

Directed to Uptown Records, Jodeci played their demo and after one song, were told to sing live. Within 45 minutes, they had a record deal.

Their debut album, Forever My Lady featured five

songs co -produced by Al B. Sure!

They also had a cameo role, singing in a nightclub in

the film, Strictly Business and they contributed a song to

the soundtrack to Fried Green Tomatoes.

Their current single, "Lately," is off the MTV -Up- town Unplugged al bum.

MIDNIGHT OIL (COLUMBIA) Peter Garrett, lead vocals.

Rob Hirst, drums. Martin Rotsey, guitar.

James Moginie, guitars/keyboards.

Bones Hillman, bass.

Original drummer Rob Hirst, guitarist/keyboardist Jim Moginie and bassist Andrew James started playing together in Sydney in 1971. A year later, they became Farm with a repertoire consisting of Creedence Clearwa- ter, Cream and Zeppelin covers.

In 1976, Farm advertised for a lead singer - and got one in Peter Garrett, formerly of Rock island Line. Later

that year Martin Rotsey joined the band, eventually be-

coming another guitarist. The band changed their name to Midnight Oil.

By early 1978, the Oils' popularity had spread beyond Sydney's north beaches, thanks to a stirring performance style. In the face of label concerns about Garrett's imposing presence (one label rep suggested he don a Spiderman outfit), the Oils formed their own label, Powderworks and cut their first album in

10 days.

On November 11, 10 days after the release of that al-

bum, they played the first of what would become many so-

cial cause benefits, to protest uranium mining. They later perform for Greenpeace and Save The Whale benefits.

They cut three more albums, each one generating more acclaim. By the time the fourth release, 10,9,8,7,6,5,43,2,1 came out, the Oils were superstars in

Australia. The latter album also featured "Power And The Passion," the first Alternative hit for the Oils in the States.

The following album, Red Sails In The Sunset, saw its

commercial fate hampered by Garrett's decision to mn for the

Australian Senate as a member of the Nuclear Disarmament Party.

Their next full-length album, Diesel And Dust, was

their biggest hit yet, featuring the smash, "Beds Are Burning." After that came Blue Sky Mining with the single, "Blue Sky Mine."

To protest the Exxon Valdez oil spill, Midnight Oil performed live in front of Exxon's corporate headquarters in Manhattan to 10,000 fans and a radio audience of over two million.

Midnight Oil's latest album, Earth And Sun And Moon, boasts the current single, "Outbreak Of Love."

ETCETERA by Ann Barron Soul Asylum fever is heating up as they

became the first Rock band to play the White House during the Clinton Administra- tion. As the President signs the National Youth Service bill into law, he reportedly wanted a band that personifies youth and fun, which is how he envisions the service program.

Barney the Dinosaur fans are raging mad at three boys who pummeled an imperson- ator and tried to tear off the head of his cos- tume at a store opening in Galveston, Texas. Terrible blows were exchanged as the gentle giant was harassed and punched by these hoodlums, who were later arrested, fined $200 each and given a 6 pm curfew.

Cool Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl has switched from the grunge sounds of Nirvana to the frenetic pace of Scream, as he tem- porarily reunites his old band for 11 quick shows. Electrifying the crowds with an ener- gizing set of early '80s Reggae -infused hardcore, Grohl mused how he is not "used to playing fast hardcore anymore!"

You can practically taste the Rap from here, as power combo Ice Cube and Dr. Dre. are currently holed up together in a studio working on their next big hit, Helier Skelter.

Rocker Nell Young, who has yet to outgrow his affinity for trains, decided to take his love one step further by forming a company with the owner of Lionel Trains to design a line of model -train controls that can be operated by the handicapped. Young's two sons have cerebral palsy and after numerous attempts to design special controls, he contacted the Lionel owner. Together they have formed Li- ontech, Inc., which will unveil a special en- gine control system in 1994.

He made us sing along as one of the founding members of supergroup The Eagles. His profound impact on the acting world can still be seen on reruns of Miami Vice. And now the former health -club pitchman, Glenn Frey, will star in his own TV series, South of Sunset, debuting October 27 on CBS.

Perhaps your living room will come to life as Fox Broadcasting Co. will air the TV premiere of The Rocky Horror Picture Show on October 25 and repeat it at 11:00 pm on October 30.

Though the rest of the world knows him as a superstar, in the state of California, Michael Jackson was just another resident in search of car insurance. In fact, a high number of insurance companies were a bit leery because they worried how other dri- vers might react to seeing the superstar behind the wheel and may hit him accidentally or on purpose. Unfortunately, Michael had to post a million -dollar bond to the State of California to get his car insured.

When the imaginations of rockers meet with the creative imagery in comic books, a new group of superheroes is born. Rock -lt Comix, a new foray into the world of comics has, lined up Pharcyde, Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, P.M. Dawn and the Smithereens to recount their adventures based on reality or fantasy. The first run will hit the racks at $3.95 an issue in November.

NORTHEAST REGIONAL ANALYSIS

It's no longer a question of whether Mariah Carey is the

#1 most -played song or not, it's now simply by how much.

Now averaging 43.9 PPW, there's no sign of stopping "Dreamlover." Also hot in the Northeast are Billy Joel

(34.7-39.6 PPW), Def Leppard (34.5-35.2 PPW) Janet

Jackson (36.6-39.6 PPW), Blind Melon (27.9-29.8 PPW)

and Meat Loaf (22.2-25.9 PPW).

As predicted here last week, Terence Trent D'Arby did debut

Top 25 regionally this week. Next week, expect Haddaway

(#27 regionally with an average 28.6 PPW) to hit the chart.

Also breaking are Rick Astley (#29 with an average 20.6

PPW) and Mr. Big (#30 with an average 21.1 PPW).

I MOTHER EARTH

Dig (CAPITOL

The buzz on I Mother Earth has exploded and we're glad to finally be sharing the scene with you, on Dig, the band's debut release out now on Capitol Records. Give IME an hour of your time and you will feel what has been missing from Hard Rock for a long while; a musical energy that is driven from the heart and pounded out on the stage with the kind of charisma and passion from a frontman (Edwin) who hasn't been seen or heard since the rockers of the Sunset Strip in the late '60s. Dig is a Mike Clink -produced masterpiece of solid rhythms, zesty, bass -driven funk and a peppering of percussion, keeping the boundaries of IME undefinable. They will again hit the road in early October to give you a chance to see, hear, feel and experience them live.
